If Johnathan Glazer directed a fictionalized version of Epstein's island.

Apart from a goofy movie and an extremely goofy movie, there is no way a film is goofier than this.

I rated it but in reality I shouldn't. Film rating indicate how films care relative to others. But I've never seen a film like this before.

There is a reason the Mossad spent 15 years searching for Adolf Eichmann and eventually found him in South America, so be brought to Israel for trial and ultimately hanged.

I've seen many reviews say that this film nailed the Nazi's banality of evil, and it did. Something they don't mention is that this is also an education in later stage social indoctrination.

Gone is the complete loyalty and servitude to Der Führer. The paper pushers and middle men that organized the true evils behind the facade of an imperial conquest. This is a film not about blindly following orders, but the enthusiasm and determination to which such chilling orders were followed, and the complete disregard for anything less that serial killer-esque tendencies (and a healthy dose of ionate German engineering and emotionless efficiency) was what made this film explain how an entire country ended up committing such heinous crimes, crimes so psychotic that they merited the creation of the first ever international militsry tribunal.

There is no reason to villify your antagonist if they can do it themselves.

You'll hate to watch it, but I feel in about ten years (not just yet) people might start to add this to top 10 or top 20 all time lists. It's a film on its own track, it can't race with the others cause it's not like the others.

It's not as harrowing than I was expecting, it definitely gives me American psycho vibes. But I stayed until the lights went up, completely paralysed listening to that final score.

A few unanswered plotholes but a terrific character driven film. 80's Capitalism at its finest. Bring back the outfits of that era!

Sometimes I couldn't tell if it was communist or capitalist propaganda. Either way it's a less charismatic knock off of Rebel without a cause.

I'm struggling to even nit pick at this film. There's depth, philosophical questions brought up, wonderfully complex characters.
Certainly wasn't stand out, but I bet this for a few Oscar nods definitely.

Also I have to mention the undeservedly outstanding soundtrack for only grand scenes. The first part started as a build up to a horror film but then it just became a tragedy

the name because clearly the post production team didn't: Nina LaRusso. Uncredited featured extra.
I can't help but feel that it shouldn't have been premiered in Berlin however. It's a very Irish film with Irish-specific dialogue that you can't translate. Some of the wit didn't land with locals that well.
Strong though, almost poetic ending.

Rarely does a digitally remastered film change your perception of it. You already know you're going to like it or not, the 4k version is just window dressing. Not this one.

Zilla in 4k just hits different. Not just the immersive experience of watching it in the cinema, but also to me it actually makes it a horror. From being a smoky behemoth in 35mm to becoming a detailed, unseemly, alien-esque beast in 4k, it's a hella lot more menacing. If you get a chance, watch.

First 80%: Another A24 film in will forget in a week

Last 20%: A lesbian Thelma and Louise style fantasy masterpiece

The single greatest short bestowed upon us mere mortals. One of the better examples of behind the iron curtain cinema and worth a watch (or ten) any day 100% I fucking love it.

In honour of Matthew Perry, this is his big screen legacy IMO. And not a bad one to leave this cruel earth with. 2 great actors in this, gone before their time. Another one with dementia before his. A sad but wonderful tale
